      @Mottanoi I'm guessing that it's a very popular feature, but no way for me to tell. I started out with FireFox and they had a great extension that would allow you to double click a tab to close it. And that was MANY years ago.

      With Vivaldi, it's built into the browser. You just check a box to allow the browser to do it.

        @Mottanoi They don't ignore, they probably just don't think it's necessary to add them, at least yet.

          @leocg I'm not trying to make a big deal of it. I'm an old fart and remember when Opera first came out. I used it for a short while then. But guess why I went back to FireFox, 🙂

            @jumper77 I'm Firefox user bcoz of that features. In actually Firefox can edit some abilities in "About:Config" to enable "Open Bookmark in new tab" and "DoubleClick to Close tab" without install any add-on like that you can google it

                @Mottanoi Well, I've been doing it for, don't know, a couple of decades maybe. I already use the mouse with a finger on the wheel.

                  @leocg I just found something just now. Opera has an extension that let's you use Chrome extensions. It can be found here.

                  I installed a Chrome extension that closes a tab if you double click the page (not the tabs)

                    Hi @jumper77, if you want, you can try also the "Close Tab by Double Right Click" extension - double right click on the page, working for webpages, not internal Opera's pages).

                    Alternatively, you can simply enable mouse gestures under opera:settings/shortcuts , hold down right mouse, and "Move down, then right" to close a tab.
                    There is also a keyboard shortcut to close the current tab - Ctrl+W (Windows/Linux) and ⌘+W on Mac, but you probably know that already. You can also change it to custom one.

                      @l33t4opera Thanks. I appreciate the info, but I'm going to stick with the double click web page extension. I'm so used to doing it with the double left button click.

                      cheers!
